Literary Characteristics of "Colloquial Poetry"

Along with Iranʹs Constitutional Revolution, poetry, more than ever, was used by the public and the poets conveyed their revolutionary messages by simple language of ordinary people in order to encourage them in their socio-political struggle. The same trend was followed by Nima and his followers specially Farrokhzad who created a poetical diction very close to the everyday speech. In fact the so-called "colloquial poetry" has its roots in the late works of Farrokhzad. The believers in "colloquial poetry" claimed that its making use of ordinary language and natural music creates a kind of poetry that addresses the readers with a contemporary taste. But some poets of this group, following the poetic principles of the two trends "New Wave" and "Poetry of Dimensions" (Space mentalism) used the common language uncommonly. For this reason it is possible to categorize the "colloquial poetry" into "conceptual" and "non-conceptual". Meanwhile the "colloquial poetry" is not that much distinct from the other contemporary trends to be considered as an independent poetic movement.
